Eagles at Seahawks: Live game thread

Share this:

OK, NOW IT’S OVER — David Hawthorne picks off a Vince Young pass intended for LeSean McCoy and takes it 77 yards for a touchdown. That pretty much clinches this one for the Seahawks, who now lead 31-14 with 4:24 to play. Chris Clemons put a nice block on Young to spring Hawthorne down the sidelines.

NOT OVER YET — The Eagles pull closer after a 17-play, 80-yard drive, capped by a 2-yard touchdown pass — though it was more of a flip — from Vince Young to LeSean McCoy. It’s 24-14 Seahawks with 12:51 left in the game.

GOLDEN BOY — Golden Tate just made a spectacular catch in the back of the end zone for an 11-yard touchdown on third-and-five, and the Seahawks lead this one 24-7. The score was set up by Brandon Browner’s 55-yard interception return.

HAWKS ADD 3 — The Seahawks tack on a 49-yard Steven Hauschka field goal with 16 seconds left in the first half, and they take a 17-7 lead.

EAGLES SCORE — LeSean McCoy scores from one yard out to cut the Seahawks’ lead to 14-7. The touchdown was set up by a 47-yard pass to Riley Cooper, thanks to some serious blown coverage by the Seattle secondary. Cooper was all by himself when Vince Young heaved it to him down the sidelines, and Kam Chancellor caught up in time to tackle him at the 3-yard line.

LYNCH AGAIN — It’s his night. This time, he ran through a massive hole created by the right side of the offensive line, covering 40 yards for his second touchdown of the game. So far, he has seven carries for 84 yards and two scores. The Seahawks lead 14-0 with 14:50 left in the second quarter.

SEAHAWKS STRIKE FIRST — Marshawn Lynch still has it. After a false-start penalty backed the Seahawks up to a 1st-and-goal from the Eagles’ 15-yard line, Lynch took a handoff and appeared to be stopped behind the line of scrimmage. But he went into what can only be described as beast mode, broke out of a pack of tacklers and sprinted into the end zone. Seahawks lead, 7-0, with 9:19 to go in the first quarter.

We’re back at CenturyLink Field for the third time in six days, a commute that feels so familiar now I could probably do it with my eyes closed. I wouldn’t, though. That would be pretty dangerous.

Anyway, the Seahawks and the Eagles play the NFL’s Thursday game here in about an hour, which you can watch on the NFL Network (or on JoeTV, channel 10) if you have the privilege of such access. It’s channel 180 on Comcast in the Seattle area. And if you don’t have Comcast, then, well, lucky you.

As usual, we’ll pass along the inactives for each team below, then update throughout the game with scoring plays, stats and other observations. Most notable for the Seahawks is that linebacker David Hawthorne (knee) and Richard Sherman (thigh) are active and expected to start. Running back LeSean McCoy is active for the Eagles.
